THAT  OLD  COLLEGE  YELL. 


(Tune— The  Old  Oaken  Bucket.) 
I. 

What  a  whirlwind  of  sweet  recollection 

comes  o'er  me 
As   the  old   college   days  to  my  mind  I 

recall. 
When  the  wondering  class  and  professor 

before  me 
Sat  amazed  while  my  wisdom  astonished 

them  all. 
How   I   tried  to  tight  shy  of  the  foot  of 

my  classes, 
And   how  my    heart    thumped    at    the 

sound  of  the  bell, 
All  the  games  and  the  tricks  of  the  lads 

and  the  lasses, 
But  more  than  all  else,  I  remember  the 

YELL! 

(Give  College  yell,  everybody  yelling.) 

Refrain— 

That   demoniac   shriek   that  we  all 

gave  together, 
That   hysterical,    raving,    demoniac 

yell! 


II. 

When   the   withering   blasts  of  senility 

chiil  me, 
I  may  lose   all   the   memories  of   many 

bright  days, 
The  delights  of  the  seasons  of  youth  may 

not  thrill  me, 
While  many  a  joy  that  now  cheers  me 

decays; 
All  the  things  that  I  learned  and  the 

friends  that  I  cherished, 
In     fond     recollection    no    longer    may 

dwell; 
But   though   from  my  memory  all  else 

has  perie-hed, 
I'll   always  remember   that  old  college 

YELL! 

Refrain — 

COLLEGE   YELL.

AT  THE  AGRICULTURAL  COLLEGE. 


(Tane-In  the   Shadow   of  His  Wings   There  is 

Rest.) 

1. 

At   the   Agricultural    College   there  are 
boys,  tine  boys, 

Boys  from  city,  farm  and  fountain, 

Boys  from  valley,  plain  and  mountain; 

At  the   Agricultural    College   there   are 
boys,  smart  boys, 

Don't  you  worry  if  they  make  some  noise. 

Refrain — 

There  are  girls  (and  bo>p) 
There  is  work  (and  glee) 
There  are  joys  (glad  joys) 
At  the  dear,  old  C.  A.  C. 

II. 

At   the   Agricultural    College   there  are 

girls,  sweet  girls, 
And  every  mother's  daughter 
Takes  to  work  like  ducks  to  water. 
At   the   Agricultural    College   there  are 

girls,  bright  girls, 
With   their   bangs   and    ribbons,   gowns 

at  d  curls. 

Refrain — 

III. 

At  the  Agricultural  Collage   they    make 

dough, good  dough, 
Sometimes  the  boys  will  eat  it, 
If  they  do,  they  don't  repeat  it. 
At  the  Agricultural  College  all  the  girls 

make  dough, 
A  nd  we'ie  mighty  ghid  'to  have  it  ^o. 


Refrain— 

IV. 

At  the  Agricultural  College  there  is  a 

farm,  big  farm, 
All  the  Freshmen  have  to  grub, 
Don't  you  kick  about  it,  Bub! 
At   the   Agricultural   College   there's   a 

farm,  tiue  farm. 
And  the  work  woD't  do  you  any  harm. 

Refrain— 

V. 

At   the   Agricultural    College   there's   a 

football  team, 
They  get  bruised  aod  gashed  and  gory, 
But  they  cover  us  with  glory. 
At  the   Agricultural  Cjllege   there's  a 

football  team, 
O!  don't  you  hear  our  eagle  scream? 

Refrain — 

VI 

At   the   Agricultural   College   there's  a 

Pres-i-dent, 
He's  a  celebrated  preacher 
And  he  makes  a  dandy  teacher. 
At   the   Agricultural   College  there's   a 

President, 
We  can  frolic  aod  he  don't   care  a  cent. 

Refrain— 

VII. 

At   the  Agricultural  College   there's   a 

choir,  great  choir. 
They  will  get  you  in  their  den 


And  warble  "Here  he  is  again." 

At   the   Agricultural    College   there's   a 

choir,  hot  choir, 
When  they  sing,  they  set  the  town  on 

fire. 

Refrain — 

There  are  girls  (and  boys) 
There  is  work  (and  glee) 
There  are  joys  (g:ad  joys) 
At  the  dear,  old  C.  A.  C. 


COLLEGE  ORGANIZATIONS. 


Organization  is  the  expression  of  the 
best  modern  thought  and  purpose. 

The  industrial  and  social  world  is  a 
labyrinth  of  organization. 

Evolved  from  nature  as  humanity  is, 
it  could  not  be  otherwise  than  that 
human  effort  should  follow  along  the 
general  lines  of  natural  organization. 

To  be  truly  a  preparation  for  partic- 
ipation in  the  world's  work,  the  College 
should  not  only  teach  the  history  and 
philosophy  of  organization  but  should 
show  its  actual  workings  by  concrete 
examples. 

Nothing  better  prepares  the  student 
for  his  influential  place  among  men  than 
the  discipline  and  development  conse- 
quent upon  his  membership  in  one  or 
more  college  organizations. 

C.  A.  C.  further  exemplifies  the  varied 
forms  of  its  educational  advantages  by 


the  number  and  variety  of  its  student 
organizations. 

Superlative  among  thsse  are  the  class 
organizations.  No  College  is  worthy  the 
name  that  hinders  the  normal  growth  of 
class  spirit. 

Out  of  this  good  natured  rivalry  comes 
the  atmosphere  that  distinguishes  the 
real  college,  vigorous,  electric,  and  accom- 
plishing from  the  relic  of  other  days 
when  the  student  was  detected  by  bis 
white  face  and  tie,  his  stoop  and  halt, 
his  unsophistication  and  utter  ignorance 
of  the  great  world  with  which  he  was 
soon  to  mix — a  process  of  great  pain 
both  to  himself  and  to  his  world. 

Following  are  the  cUss  organizations 

for  1900:

LITERARY  SOCIETIES. 


The  literary  societies  of  C.  A.  C.  are 
virile.  They  teach  self-control,  deeper 
thinking,  extempore  address,  debate, 
criticism,  book  reviewing  and  social 
intercourse. 

It  may  be  somewhat  old-fashioned, 
but  the  opinion  that  the  literary  socie- 
ties of  a  college  are  a  fairly  accurate 
thermometer  marking  its  intellectual 
temperature  is  not  all  wrong. 

Through  them  the  student  learns  to 
concrete  and  give  expression  to  the 
philosophy,   history   and   demonstration 


which  have  come  to  him   in    the   class- 
room. 

Moreover,  it  fits  him  for  hie  place 
later  among  men  in  the  Grange,  insti- 
tute, iyceum,  social  circle,  and  on  the 
political  platform.

Next  in  importance  are  IheY.  M.  C  A. 
nnd  V.  W.  C.  A. 

They  have  this  high  standing  from  the 
fact  that  without  being  sectarian,  they 
afford  the  student  an  opportunity  to 
develop  the  religious  side  of  his  nature 
in  a  practical  and  sensible  way. 

These  associations  receive  the  new 
students,  locate  them  in  comfortable 
homes  and  assist  them  in  registration. 

Also,  by  receptions  and  sociables, 
they  greatly  help  ^to  make  the  ze6t  and 
the  esprit  de  corps  of  college  life. 

In  a  quiet  way,  they  seek  also,  to 
deepen  the  student's  natural  reverence 
for  spiritual  truth. 

Religion  is  coming  more  'and  more  to 
mean  "a  way  to  do^things."  It  is  more 
concerned  with  "how"  than  with  "what" 
It  is  a  relation  between  every  man  and 
his  environment.  From  the  gold  in  his 
pocket  up  through  all  sentient  life  to 
his  fellow  man  and  God.

GLEE  CLUB. 

While  the  Glee  Club  is  yet  in  the  first 
year  of  its  founding  it  has  made  marked 
progress  both  in  solo  work  and  ensemble. 
ihtX       ?  generously   enlivened 

the  Chapel   exercises  and   has   assisted 
in  a  score  or  more  of  entertainments 
Ihe  organization  is  permanent. 
With  its  glees  and  college  songs,   and 
even    leading   the   service   of  son.    the 
Glee  Club  has  already  rendered  sTrv 
sufficiently  valuable  to    warrant   its   ex- 
istence. 

Following  is  the  roll  of  membership-

ORCHESTRA. 


The  Orchestra  is  an  older  organization 
than  the  Glee  Club.  There  have  been 
few  College  programs  during  the  last 
two  years  that  have  not  been  indebted 
to  the  Orchestra  for  their  success. 

During  the  exercises  of  Commence- 
ment Week  it  is  very  much  in  evidence, 
much  to  the  delight  of  both  students 
and  guests. 

While  it  has  required  no  little  expense 
and  time  to  keep  the  Orchestra  at  its 
high  point  of  excellence,  its  services 
have   always  been  given   to  the  College 

freely. 

The  personel  is  as  follows: 

W.  P.  Hurley,  1st  Violin,  Leader, 

F.  E.  Schneider,  Violin, 

Ralph  Parshall  Violin, 

H.  E.  Emigh,  C  met, 

R.  R.  Fisk,  Cornet, 

Ray  Baxter,  Slide  Trombone, 

A.  B.  Bennett,  Bass. 

Ada  Livernash,  Pianist, 

E.  K.  Baer,  Drums  and  Traps. 


NATURAL  SCIENCE   CLUB. 


It  is  well  to  lift  the  mass  of  knowledge 
out  of  the  books  and  set  it  in  the  light  of 
every  dav  experience.  This  is  particu- 
larly helpful  in  the  matter  of  scientific 
knowledge.     Thus  it  becomes  something 


more    than   a   tissue  of   theory.      It   ie 

vitalized. 
Not  only  is  it   alive   but  it  has  been 

made  useful. 
That   the  scientific   process    may    be 

better   understood   and  scientific   facts 

more  readily  applied  to  every   day   life, 

this  Club  has  been  organized.      In  it  are 

both  students  and  teachers. 

While  interested  to  a  degree  in  scien- 
tific research,  it  has  the  greater  concern 
for  the  practical  application  of  scientific 
methods. 
Following  is  the  list  of  officers: 

James  W.  Lawrence President 

Elmer  D.Bali Vice-President 

Louis  A.  Test Secretary 

Chas.  C.  Durkee Treasurer

ATHLETIC  ASSOCIATION, 


It  is  important  that  young  people  who 
have  lead  a  more  or  less  busy  life  should 
not  be  permitted  to  enter  upon  a  four 
years'  college  course  which  shall  demand 
of  them  close  application  within  doors 
without  having  provided  for  them  such 
physical  recreation  as  will  counteract 
the  heavy  draft  upon  their  nervous 
energy. 

Regular      and       systematic      physical 


exercise  is  necessary  to  insure  a  success- 
ful college  career. 

Proper  heart  action;  the  natural 
assimilation  of  food;  and  a  gradual  chest 
expansion  are  among  the  results  of  well- 
conducted  college  athletics. 

It  is  the  purpose  of  the  Faculty  to 
restrain  athletics  within  sensible  bounds 
by  encouraging  rational  contests.  Sym- 
pathetic government  is  needed  here 
more  than  in  any  other  phase  of  college 
life. 

The  Association  is  composed  of 
students  and  members  of  the  Faculty. 
The  Board  of  Directors  must  contain 
at  least  two  members  of  the  Faculty. 

The  officers  of  the  Association  are  as 
follows: 

James  H.  Andrews President 

Frank  O.  Rasmussen Manager 

Oliver  P.  Pennock Treasurer 

C.  S.  Atherly Secretary 

Arthur  G.  Newell 

Captain  Foot  Ball  Team 

Lineta  Crandall 

Captain  Basket  Ball  Team 

Howard  Em'gh 

Captain    Base   Ball   Team 

Board  of  Directors:  Jas.  H.  Andrews, 
H.  E.  Emigh,  F.  O.  Rasmussen,  Prof. 
E.  B.  House,  President  B.  O.  Aylesworth, 
T.  M.  Donelson  and  Ned  V.  Tanner. 

The  field  meet  was  held  May  4th.  The 
new  athletic  grounds  were  in  readiness 


for  the  base  ball  season  of  1900.  Other 
improvements  will  be  made  during  the 
summer. 


C.  A.  C.  ORATORICAL  ASSOCIATION. 

Noblest  among  the  arts  is  oratory.  It 
is  coming  to  a  splendid  revival  in  the 
discussions  of  the  great  problems  now 
confronting  the  nation. 

Nothing  in  college  life  arouses  more 
interest  than  a  contest  between  those 
who  possess  the  gift  of  oratory.  No- 
where may  it  reach  a  higher  develop- 
ment than  among  those  whose  ancestors 
have  been  hardy,  and  whose  early  life 
has  not  been  a  stranger  to  the  fields  and 
woods  and  robust  health. 

It  is  expected  that  during  the  coming 
year  a  gentleman  of  recognized  ability 
will  have  charge  of  those  desiring  to 
study  oratory  and  will  give  special  train- 
ing to  those  who  enter  the  contests. 

Ihe  Association  was  organized  in  1892. 
Its  object  is  to  encourage  the  practice 
and  study  of  oratory  in  the  College. 
Students  registered  in  any  of  the  four 
higher  classes  may  be  admitted  to  mem- 
bership by  vote  of  the  Association. 

The  Association  holds  two  contests 
each  year.  One  for  the  members  of  the 
Sophomore  and  Freshman  classes;  the 
other  for  the  members  of  the  Senior  and 
Junior  classes.  The  gold  medal  in  the 
contest  of  this  >ear    was   won    by    Earl 


DougiRBP,  '00,  and    the  silver   n  edal   by 
Oliver  P.  Pennock,  '02. 

The  following  are  the  officers  of  the 
Association: 

E.  W.  Smith President 

Austin  Downey Vice-President 

C.  G.  Brown Secretary 

Earl  Douglass Treasurer 

R.  W.  Haynes 

Sujerintendent  of  Manuscripts 


SAN  JUAN  CLUB. 


In  this  loarding  club  accc  n  nida- 
tions Hie  had  for  about  forty  students. 
A  steward  is  chosen  from  among  their 
numter.  Into  his  hards  is  committed 
the  purchase  of  supplies.  The  club 
fixes  by  vole  the  quality  of  heard,  and 
under  the  supervision  of  the  Faculty, 
creates  its  own  regulations. 

It  is  a  mutual  business  arrangement 
that  has  proved  highly  successful. 

The  price  of  board  ranges  from  $2.00 
to  $2.25  per  week.  Similar  clubs  upon  a 
smaller  plan  are  also  in  operation. 

The  officers  are  as  follows:

AGRICULTURAL    CLUB. 

This  is  an  organization  of  joung  men 
who  believe  that  farming  is  both  a 
science  and  an  art. 

That  it  is  the  noblest  among  all  the 
vocations  of  mam 

They  are  banded  together  for  the 
promotion  of  the  Agricultural  Depart- 
ment of  the  College,  first  of  all;  then, 
for  mutual  improvement  in  every  way 
that  befits  the  calling  to  which  they  are 
devoted. 

The  home  life,  the  literary  life,  and 
the  social  life  of  the  farm  engage  their 
attention.  They  also  specialize  upon 
such  phases  of  agriculture  and  kindred 
sciences  as  require  original  investigation 
and  research  by  means  of  treatises  and 
bulletins. 

Meetings  are  held  every  two  weeks  for 
the  discussion  of  agricultural  subjects 
and  scientific  problems  of  the  day. 
Papers  presented  by  members  of  the 
Club  are  followed  by  a  general  dis- 
cussion.

PARLIAMENTARY  LAW. 


A  class  of  nearly  one  hundred  mem- 
bers was  organized  early  in  the  year 
for  the  study  of  Parliamentary  law, 
under  the  efficient  leadership  of  Ralph 
H.  Hess,  assistant  in  Mathematics. 
This  body  repolved  itself  into  various 
well-known  organizations  for  practice. 
It  will  be  continued  during  the  year 
1900-1001. 


FARMERS'  INSTITUTES. 


The  Agricultural  College  is  not  merely 
for  the  education  of  young  men  and 
women  in  the  practical  sciences,  but  it 
is  designed  to  briDg  the  latest  and  best 
information  relative  to  agriculture,  to 
those  who  need  and  desire  it,  in  the 
most  direct  way  possible. 

To  this  end  Farmers'  Institutes  have 
been  found  the  most  available  means. 

During  the  winter  months  members 
of  the  Faculty  will  meet  the  agricultur- 
ists of  the  various  sections  of  the  State 
in  convention  and  confer  with  them  as 
to  the  best  methods  for  the  development 
of  Colorado  along  these  important  lines. 
Thus,  the  results  of  experimentation  in 
every  kind  of  soil  product  are  brought 
immediately  to  those  most  interested  in 
them.     Also,  the  various  foes  of  fruits

scientific  research,  and  in  general  re- 
ducing scientific  investigation*  to  terms 
of  utility. 

Institutes  were  held  during  the  last 
season  at  Grand  Junction,  Glenwood 
Springs,  La  Junta,  Rocky  Ford,  Las 
Animae,  Lamar,  Longmont,  Loveland, 
Cherrelyn  and  other  points. 

The  Secretary  of  the  Board,  Hon.  A. 
M.  Hawley,  solicits  early  correspondence 
with  reference  to  subjects  and  speakers 
for  the  coming  year  as  well  as  to  the 
organization  of. new  institutes. 

The  College  also  holds  itself  in  readi- 
ness at  all  times  for  co-operation  with 
the  Granges  of  the  State.  In  fact  it  is 
the  servant  of  the  people  and  has  no 
other  reason  for  existence  than  to  serve 
the  interests  of  the  State  and  general 
government. 


Forty   students    were    enrolled    from 
towns  outside  of  Colorado. 


BULLETINS. 

Many  valuable  bulletins  have  been 
issued  by  the  Experiment  Station  upon 
subjects  of  vital  interest  to  the  agricul- 
turists of  the  State  and  United  States. 
These  are  for  free  distribution.  By  ad- 
dressing L.  G.  Carpenter,  Director  of  the 
Experiment  Station,  such  bulletins  as 
are  not  out  of  print  may  be  obtained  at 
once.  If  so  desired,  the  name  of  the

CHAPEL. 

In  do  institution  do  the  students  at- 
tend the  Chapel  exercises  more  regu- 
larly than  at  O.  A.  C.  The  exercises  are 
of  great  variety.  Special  attention  is 
given  to  music,  both  vocal  and  instru- 
mental. The  College  choir,  glee  club 
and  orchestra  are  assisted  by  soloists. 

During  the  Fall  term  the  President 
reviews  the  new  books  and  current 
events,  and  guests  of  the  College  address 
the  students  on  up-to-date  subjects. 
During  the  Winter  term  the  members 
of  the  Faculty  lecture  once  a  week  on 
subjects  in  line  with  their  special  work# 
In  addition,  the  Sophomores  render 
appropriate  selections  from  the  Chapel 
rostrum.  During  the  Spring  term  the 
Juniors  deliver  original  addresses  in  the 
presence  of  the  entire  college.  The 
productions  of  both  Sophomores  and 
Juniors  are  reviewed  by  the  President. 
The  Chapel  hour  is    regarded  as   the

crown  of  t  ho  cUy,  i\  ith  its  good  cheer 
and  fellowship.  More  than  anything  else 
this    hour    marks   the  quality  of  college 

life.  

BOOKS. 


The  College  Library  has  been  well 
selected  as  regards  scientific  and  tech- 
nical subjects.  All  the  best  domestic 
and  foreign  periodicals  are  to  be  found 
on  its  tables. 

It  is  free  to  all  the  students. 

Valuable  assistance  is  given  students 
desiring  to  investigate  special  subjects. 

President  Aylesworth  has  placed  his 
large  library  at  the  service  of  the  ad- 
vanced studeots.  It  is  doubtful  if  it  is 
surpassed  by  any  private  library  in  the 
State  in  point  of  general  literature.  By 
combining  this  excellent  literary  library 
with  the  scientific  and  historical  library 
of  the  College,  unusual  opportunity  for 
general  and  special  reading   is  afforded. 

DISCIPLINE. 


Nowhere  in  the  West  may  be  found 
better  order  and  more  contentment  than 
among  the  students  of  C.  A.  C. 

There  is  a  mutualism  between  Faculty 
and  students  that  not  only  insures  free- 
dom without  familiarity,  but  the  high- 
est quality  of  classroom  work. 

There  is  no   long   list   of  rules  to    be 

Th^  buildings  are  all  heated  by  steam 
and  lighted  by  electricity.

the  general  ru-le. 

The  government  is  inspirational. 

The  consequent  discipline,  quiet,  but 
effectual. 

Conscience  makes  stronger  restraint 
than  law. 

The  fact  that  Fort  Collins  is  free 
from  saloons  and  their  accompanying 
vices  reduces  temptation  to  a  mini- 
mum. An  additional  safeguard  is  the 
"open  home"  policy  of  the  good  people 
of  Port  Collins. 

In  the  matter  of  freely  granting  so- 
cial intercourse  to  the  students  who 
come  from  abroad,  the  city  has  always 
had  at  heart  the  welfare  of  the  young 
men  and  young  women  who,  for  a 
time,  are  committed  to  the  oversight  of 
THE  STATE  AGRICULTURAL 
COLLEGE. 


DOMESTIC  SCIENCE. 


Special  provision  has  been  made  for 
young  ladies,  not  only  by  the  "Ladies' 
Course,"  which  includes  the  best  mod- 
ern methods  of  cooking,  sewing,  and 
general  houpe  carp,  but  by  the  loyal  sup- 
port given  to  co-education  by  the  Board 
and  Faculty. 

The  four  years'  course  has  for  its  ob- 
ject the  typical,  educated,  Colorado 
woman,  ready  for  the  world's  wTork,  side 


by  6ide  with  her  brother,  and  later,  to 
become  a  veritable  "helpmeet"  to  her 
husband.  She  will  solve  with  him  the 
problems  of  civilization. 


THE  COLLEGE  HERDS. 


The  stock  on  the  College  Farm  is 
intended  to  represent  the  best  of  the 
various  breeds  and  to  serve  as  object 
lessons  to  the  students.  Much  money 
has  been  expended  recently  in  adding  to 
the  stock,  and  other  breeds  will  be  added 
as  fast  as  the  funds  of  the  institution 
permit.  Beef  cattle  are  at  present 
represented  by  a  herd  of  extra  tine  reg- 
istered animals.  The  bull,  Perfection 
2d,  that  stands  at  the  head  of  this  herd, 
is  not  equalled  anywhere  in  the  State. 

The  Jerseys  were  chosen  to  represent 
dairy  cattle,  and  constitute  a  herd  of 
choice  animals,  whose  product  furnishes 
material  for  the  use  of  students  in  the 
dairy  classes. 

Sheep  are  represented  by  some  tine 
registered  Shropshire^  that  demonstrate 
how  rapidly  it  is  possible  for  sheep  to 
grow  under  Color-id )  conditions  of  food 
and  climate.  There  is  also  a  small 
flock  of  grade  Merinos  that  is  being  used 
for  experimental  feeding. 

The  pigs  on  the  Farm  are  Berkshires, 
of  the  finest  lineage.  The  foundation 
stock  was  selected  from  some  of  the  best 
herds   of    Nebraska    and    Missouri.      It 


was  further  improved  by  importations 
from  Kanfas  aid  selections  from  prize 
winners  at  the  World's  Fair  at  Chicago. 
Last,  but  not  least,  are  the  heavy 
teams  of  Clydesdale  that  are  the  pride 
of  the  College.

COLLEGE     DEPARTMENTS. 

AGRICULTURE. 

Tbe  course  of  instruction  is  designed 
to    educate    students    for    agricultural 
pursuits    and    scientific    investigations. 
Some   of   tbe   subjects  taught  are  farm 
buildings    and    roads,    stock    breeding, 
dairying,  nature  of  soils,  practical  m - 
gation,  care  of  live  stock,  and  the  fertil- 
ization  and   cultivation  of  crops.    The 
whole  course   is  illustrated  by  the  ex^ 
perimental  work  always  in  progress  and 
is  supplemented  by  daily  practical  work 
on  the  farm  and  in  the  laboratory. 
BOTANY  AND   HORTICULTURE. 

Botany-structural   and  systematic- 
is  taught  from  text-books  and   by  lec- 
tures     A  great  variety   of   plants  is  a 
hand.        In    physiological    botany,    the 
students  use  compound  microscopes  and 
have    laboratory     practice    two     hours 
daily        An    herbarium    of   native    and 
foreign  plants  and  the  greenhouses  fur- 
nish material  for  study.      Inrtruc  ionin 
horticulture    is    given,    principally,    by 
means  of  lectures.    Some  of  tbe  subjects 
considered     are     vegetable    gardening, 
methods  of  plant  propagation  forestry 
pomology,    floriculture,    and    landscape 

gardening:. 


ZOOLOGY  AND  ENTOMOLOGY. 

Two   terms  are  given   to   physiology. 
The  laboratory  is  well  equipped,  possess- 
ing, among  other  things,  a  fine  series  of 
mounted  skeletons;  an  expensive  mani- 
kin; large  models  of  the  eye,   brain    and 
ear;  and  compound  and  dissecting  micro- 
scopes;   microtomes,   and   dissecting  in- 
struments.       Students    in    Zoology   are 
furnished  with  all    necessary  equipment 
for  laboratory    work.     Particular   atten- 
tion is  given  to  the  economic  features  of 
entomology.        Students     prepare    the 
principal     insecticide     substances    and 
apply   them   for   the   destruction   of  in- 
sects. 

CHEMISTRY  AND   GEOLOGY. 

Students  acquire  a  thorough  mastery 
of  the  elementary  principles  of  chemical 
science.  They  have  two  hours'  practice 
daily  in  the  laboratory. 

Keeping  in  mind  the  object  for  which 
the  College  is  founded,  we  have  so 
planned  our  chemical  course  as  to  pre 
pare  the  student  for  the  general  a pp  i - 
TJi  V  che,mi8try  to  the  industrial 
arte,  while  seeking  thoroughly  to  ground

CIVIL  AND  IRRIGATION  ENGINEERING. 

The  subject*  taught  tire  irrigation  en- 
gineering, th«    materials  of   engineering 
surveying,    construction    of    dams    and 
reservoirs,       agricultural        hydraulic*, 
trusses    and    bridges,    heterology,    and 

physics.  .  , 

The  department  has  fine  physical  and 
hydraulic  laboratories,  a  draughting- 
room,  a  good  supply  of  standard 
engineering  instruments,  testing  ma- 
chines, and  a  complete  set  of  meteoro- 
logical instruments. 

MECHANICAL  ENGINEERING. 
The  studies  and  practice   of    this    de- 
partment prepare  students  for  the   pro- 
fession    of     the      mechanical    engineer. 
The  instruction,  theoretical  and    practi- 
cal,  covers*  a   wide    field.     The    special 
studies  of    this  course   are    as    follows  : 
Drawing;    carpentry  and    joinery,    also 
wood-working  machinery:  pattern  mak- 
ing   and    foundry     work;    forge    work; 
machine  and  vise  work  in  metals  ;  prin- 
ciples of    mechanism;  strength   of    ma- 
terials; boders;    ihe   steam    engine;   and 
machine    design,   machinery,   and     mill 

work.  

MATHEMATICS. 

The  course  isTcomprebensive  and 
thorough,  especially  for  the  engineering 
stud.nts.      The   following    subjects   re- 


ceive  careful  attention  :  Algebra, 
geometry,  trigonometry,  descriptive  geo- 
metry, analytic  geometry,  and  calculus. 
Other  branches  of  mathematical  science 
are  taught  in  the  department  in 
which  their  knowledge  has  a  special 
application. 

HISTORY  AND  LITERATURE. 

A  well-rounded  education  includes  a 
somewhat  thorough  knowledge  of  his- 
tory and  English  literature.  These  sub- 
jects are  studied  throughout  the 
entire  course.  The  development  of 
a  literary  taste  is  the  aim  of 
this  work.  Tbe  study  of  the  Philos- 
ophy of  History  includes  such  subjects 
as  historical  investigation;  laws  govern- 
ing human  actions;  reciprocal  influen- 
ces of  religion,  literature,  and  govern- 
ment; comparisons  and  criticisms  of 
past  civilizations;  and  the  elements 
found  in  our  present  civilization. 

The  College  Library  is  an  important 
factor.  Its  shelves  are  well  rilled  with 
standard  literature,  and  with  works  of 
special  interest  and  assistance  to  the 
student  of  history. 


RHETORIC. 


The  ability  to  write  a  clear  and  an 
elegant  English  sentence  is  an  accom- 
plishment much  to  be  desired  ;  and  it  is 
a  recognized  fact  that  English  forms  an 


important    branch   in    all     well  rounded 
courses  of  study. 

Composition  writing  and  the  prepara- 
tion of  orations  form  an  important 
feature  of  the  work  in  English. 


PHILOSOPHY. 


The  courses  in  Psychology,  Logic  and 
Ethics  bring  to  the  student  the  latest 
findings  in  these  great  subjects. 

There  is  not  only  a  thorough  technical 
study  required,  but  above  everything 
else  the  teaching  is  of  such  quality  as 
produces  good  nit  zenship.  It  is  as  im- 
portant to  know  the  mind  itself  as  to 
know  discovered  truths  in  order  to  arrive 
at  noble  living. 

Not  only  are  mental  processes  but 
ethical  set  forth. 

The  way  to  arrive  at  a  given  human 
condilion  is  as  important  as  to  know 
the  condition  itself. 

CONSTITUTION.     SOCIOLOGY.      AND      POLITICAL 
ECONOMY. 

Under  the  wider  generalizations  of 
Sociology,  Political  Economy  is  taught 
as  the  Fcience  of  commercial  relations, 
including  land,  labor  and  capital.  And 
the  Constitution  of  the  United  States  is 
presented  as  the  noblest  example  of 
both  social  and  commercial  relations. 

"To  be  loyal,  to  be  ju6t,  to  be 
humane,"  is  the  triple  expreesion  of 
the?e  three  great  sciences. 


*?> 


COMMERCIAL  COURSE. 

This  course  covers  a  period  of  two 
years.  Its  work  is  not  designed  to  be  a 
short  cut  to  the  business  world,  but  to 
afford  a  thorough  and  practical  training 
for  some  forms  of  commercial  life  and, 
with  this  special  traiuing,  to  give  some 
general  culture.  Some  of  the  subjects 
taught  are  spelling,  penmanship  com- 
mercial arithmetic,  commercial  corre- 
spondence, typewriting,  stenography, 
bookkeeping,  commercial  law,  inter- 
national law,  business  practice  and  bank- 
ing, elementary  algebra,  plane  geometry, 
civil  government,  political  economy, 
United  States  history,  general  history, 
grammar,  literature,  and  composition 
and  rhetoric. 


MILITARY  DEPARTMENT. 


That  military  training  and  military 
instruction  are  essential  elements  in  an 
education  is  a  recognized  fact.  At  the 
beginning  of  the  Civil  War  the  schools 
and  colleges  were  few  where  this  branch 
received  any  attention.  Inconsequence, 
men  who  were  capable  drill  masters  and 
fitted  for  subordinate  office  in  the  army 
were  very  few. 

It  was  in  the  following  year,  1862,  that 
Congress  made  provision  to  correct  this 
state  of  affairs.  The  "College  Land 
Grant  Act"  was  passed.  This  was  the 
beginning   of    what   are    now   known  a9 


Agricultural  and  Mechanical  Colleges. 
In  colleges  established  under  this 
act  military  instruction  is  made  of 
fundamental  importance.  It  is  com- 
pulsory on  all  male  students  of  the 
Agricultural  College  of  Colorado. 

As  a  result  of  this  work  large  num- 
bers of  young  men  are  subjected  to 
military  discipline  at  the  time  in  their 
lives  when  it  has  the  best  effect.  Men 
who  complete  the  four  years'  course 
should  be  able,  if  occasion  demand,  to 
raise  and  tit  for  service  an  infantry  com- 
pany or  battalion.  Excellent  results 
have  already  been  made  manifest  in  the 
quick  conversion  of  citizens  into  dis- 
ciplined soldiers,  as  was  the  case  in  the 
late  war.  It  was,  doubtless,  the  infusion 
of  trained  men  from  college  battalions 
that  made  this  remarkable  change  pos 
sible. 

Even  the  young  man  who  has  no  am- 
bition to  be  a  soldier  or  to  know  a  sol- 
dier's duties,  is  given  the  physical 
exercise  which  produces  the  elastic  step, 
aids  development,  and  gives  easy  con- 
trol of  the  body.  Furthermore,  the 
cadenced  step  of  marching  troops,  the 
display  of  the  national  flag,  the  blare  of 
trumpet  and  the  beat  of  drum  will  stir 
in  the  dullest  heart  emotions  of  highest 
patriotism.
